What is Linaria?
Linaria is a genus of flowering plants that includes over 150 species, commonly known as toadflax. Many species of Linaria are toxic to dogs, containing compounds called cardiac glycosides.
Symptoms of Linaria Poisoning in Dogs:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Weakness
- Lethargy
- Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
- Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Death
What to Do if Your Dog Ate Linaria:
1. Call a Veterinarian Immediately:
It's crucial to seek professional veterinary care as soon as possible. The severity of poisoning depends on the amount and type of Linaria ingested.
2. Induce Vomiting:
If the dog ingested Linaria within the last 2 hours, your veterinarian may recommend inducing vomiting to remove any remaining plant material.
3. Activated Charcoal:
Activated charcoal can help absorb the toxins in the digestive tract. Your veterinarian will administer it orally.
4. Intravenous Fluids:
Intravenous fluids will help support the dog's cardiovascular system and flush out toxins.
5. Heart Monitoring:
Your veterinarian will closely monitor the dog's heart rhythm using an electrocardiogram (ECG). They may administer medications to regulate the heart rate and rhythm if necessary.
6. Other Medications:
Depending on the severity of the poisoning, your veterinarian may prescribe medications to treat vomiting, diarrhea, or other symptoms.
7. Home Care:
Once the dog is discharged from the veterinary hospital, follow your veterinarian's instructions for home care. This may include:
- Rest and limited activity
- A bland diet
- Monitoring the dog's symptoms
- Contacting the veterinarian if any new symptoms occur
Prevention:
To prevent Linaria poisoning, keep your dog away from these plants. If you have Linaria in your yard or garden, make sure to supervise your dog closely when they are outside.
